Sonya, my darling.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go, shall we?

The third kidnap victim is Oksana Shvets.

The suspected kidnapper is Roman Sviridov.

This is his daughter Alisa.

She disappeared from a shopping centre 3 years ago.

It's thought this event triggered the recent kidnappings.

Hi.

What happened?

Sonya, go to your room please.

We need to talk.

Could you be mistaken?

Maybe that girl

just looks like our Sonya?

They showed her photo. It's definitely her.

If the press have the photo, sooner or later they'll find us.

No, don't answer it.

Sonya had another seizure today. She slipped out of the car

and stood right in the middle of the road. A truck almost hit her.

She won't survive another seizure.

To all intents and purposes we're her parents.

Yes, of course.

So what do we do?

We'll go away.

Right now.

All checked.

- Here. - Fill the glass.

Open the door! Police!

- Have you seen the Laudes lately? - They've just left.

With huge suitcases. All three of them.

- When exactly? - About an hour ago.

They've left.

Check-in for flight 4324 to Antwerp is now open.

Excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me.

- Hello. - Hello.

One moment, please.

German and Marina Laude?

- Yes, is there a problem? - Come with us, please.

- But we have a flight to catch. - You'll have to miss it.

We got hold of the barge. They're coming back.

He couldn't kill them, could he?

We can't be sure. The coordinates match. His tragedy is now public.

But we haven't found Alisa.

Sviridov doesn't even think she's alive.

Hence the "game over".

- What would you do in his shoes? - I don't know.

Are you sure? Children?

It's freezing in there.

Even the homeless don't stay long.

Cut the engine.

Everything's OK.

Check his pulse.

Where's Oksana?

She went that way.

- There's a pulse. - Take the children out.

Come with me.

Help!

I'm not afraid of you!

Oksana?

Everything's OK.

It's OK.

Easy, easy.

It's all right. Come here.

It's over.

- Where's the man who took you? - He opened the cage and left.

You'll be fine.

Sviridov isn't here.

Get back to the station. The Laudes are in custody.

Varta, do you hear me?

Understood.

We were at the station.

We saw the patrol car leaving and we followed them.

Apparently, the other parents have also been informed.

Yes.

- I can't believe it's over. - Luckily.

Good evening. I'm Oksana's mother.

- We're so grateful to you. - Your daughter's very brave.

We love her more than anything. Thank God you found her.

Thank you.

- Shall we go home? - I'm afraid not.

The Laudes are in custody. Let's get back to work.

They insist she's their daughter.

They have her birth certificate and hospital documents.

Documents can be forged.

My name is Maxim Shumov.

This is Senior Investigator Varta Naumova.

Where did you give birth?

- Excuse me? - What's the name of the hospital?

It's in the documents.

Please excuse my colleague, but due to the ongoing investigation...

What was her height, weight and eye colour at birth?

- Exact time of birth? - Stop it. This is out of order.

- Varta, don't. - Look at me. Is this your mother?

Naumova!

Step outside.

- What are you doing? - That's Sviridov's daughter.

- You have no proof. - That woman did not give birth to her.

They bought her and faked the papers. Human trafficking is a crime.

Where's your proof? Have you found Sviridov?

No, but we know for certain that Lavrov sold them the girl.

Lavrov?

The one Fadeeva implicated? Is he here?

- No. - Why?

Viktor, while arresting Lavrov...

Lavrov is dead. Overdose. His girlfriend told us about Laude.

Is that it? Circumstantial evidence from a junkie whore?

Are you serious?

Their lawyer is on his way.

Naumova, I don't want you anywhere near them.

Take the photos of the Laude girl and post them everywhere.

If she is Sviridov's daughter, he'll be in touch.

Varta, we can't do that. We have no right.

So how do you propose we find him? He's convinced his daughter's dead.

If he knows she's alive, he'll contact us.

But you're using that girl as bait.

Her parents would never agree. And they'd be right.

They should be in jail for forging documents for an abducted child!

Stop it! This is getting way too personal for you.

You want to punish innocent people. You need to calm down.

Clear your head. You're not thinking straight.

Clear my head?

Really?

Do you know what could have happened if the barge had stayed in dock?

I do, but we found the children and they're fine.

He left them to die!

If you're too scared to post Alisa's photos,

I'll do it myself.

Do you think she really is Sviridov's daughter?

If Sviridov thought she was alive, he'd carry on searching for her.

- What does that phrase mean? - "Game Over"?

Don't turn on the light.

\Ne have a special bond.

We always have.

- Hello? - I've got Sviridov.

Meet me at the station.

Don't move.

How did you work it out?

The phrase.

It wasn't about the children, it was about him.

Remember this photo?

- Where Alisa's scarf was found? - Yes, that's where it started for him.

And that's where he wanted to end it.

My name's Maxim Shumov. This is Varta Naumova.

You're accused of kidnapping three children.

Alina Borovko, Bogdan Radishchev and Oksana Shvets.

- Have you found them? - We have.

Bodgan suffers from cardiac oedema, caused by acute respiratory failure.

Alina has nervous exhaustion.

It's not clear whether they'll make a full recovery.

And Oksana?

You didn't mention her.

Oksana suffered less than the others.

So?

You think you've fulfilled your maternal duty?

- That's nothing to do with you. - We'll ask the questions.

3 days.

For 3 days I was questioned by people like you.

You lot questioned me at the station instead of looking for my daughter.

And you know what they kept asking?

How did I manage to get a job in Zurich.

As if we'd deliberately got rid of our child

to make the move easier.

Why did you kidnap Alina Borovko?

I saw her on the street and I thought she was my Alisa.

I kept imagining her returning home.

I couldn't get the picture out of my head.

You know the scariest part?

Not knowing.

How did you manage to take Alina out of the locked flat?

Hide and seek.

What an amazing game.

You just close your eyes.

And hey presto, your child's gone.

Children play it for real, but adults always fake it.

I knew about Borovko's secret room.

I knew everything about him.

I knew his routine. When he'd see Alina, what time.

How much time they spent together.

I made a copy of the keys to his flat.

But he unlocked the door himself when he rushed outside in a panic.

I took the girl and quietly relocated to the flat next door.

I went up to the roof and planted her sweater.

I came back and waited for the tour bus.

Why Bogdan Radishchev?

Such an indifferent mother.

Dragging her son around nightclubs.

Bogdan, Bogdan, Bogdan?

I know where you're hiding.

Bogdan has an acute form of asthma.

His mother took him with her because she was afraid to leave him alone.

Is that right?

But he was alone at the concerts.

She didn't care about him.

Maybe some women shouldn't have kids.

They have a baby and then they don't know what to do with it.

Everyone has their reasons for having or not having children.

I saw you there at the school.

Near that girl.

I saw the way you looked at her.

I saw your eyes.

I wanted you to understand how it feels.

- OK, baby. - Bye, Mummy!

I want to show Laude's daughter to Sviridov.

If she's his child, he deserves to know.

It won't change much. He's still going to jail.

Think about it. They bought her from some random junkie.

Without asking anything about where she came from?

I don't think they realised. They seem shocked.

A crime is a crime.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Why don't you take a cigarette break?

I shouldn't be here. I have no right to talk to you.

But it seems we've..

Found your daughter.

Your nanny, Fadeeva, took her. They sold her, her and her partner.

She's been living

with another family for a long time.

They're decent, well-off people.

They seem to love her very much.

Tomorrow you'll be asked to identify her.

Fadeeva died in prison, her partner's dead too.

So you're the only one who can identify her.

If you say she's your daughter,

she'll be taken away

and put in an orphanage.

You know you're going down for a very long time.

If you say it's not her,

then she'll have a decent, happy life.

It's up to you.

DADDY - MUMMY

ALISA

ALISA

Where's Sviridov?

He's on his way.

No stunts. Recording of the meeting is in progress.

Mother, child and lawyer will enter the room.

Sviridov will say whether or not she's his daughter, that's it.

- Is that clear? - Yes.

The investigation uncovered the possibility that

the girl raised by German and Marina Laude

could be Alisa Sviridova, who was abducted 3 years ago.

Roman Sviridov,

can you identify this girl as your daughter?

No, she's not my child.

Thank you very much.

Was it you?

You shouldn't have done it.

Take him away.

Varta.

I'll request a DNA test and I'll prove she's not their daughter.

You'll make things worse. Leave them alone.

What's keeping you two? Everyone's waiting.

OK, understood.

Do you want to make them pay for your mistakes?

Have you come to terms with Bondar's murder?

Feeling better?

I know Protasov and Luzhyn are dealing drugs.

They control supply and distribution.

Ryaboi and his sister worked for them.

She wanted to testify, so they killed her

to cover everything up.

It was me in the club that night.

Viktor, our job is to fight against people like them.

But you cover for them.

I don't cover for anyone.

I protect my people.

Including you.

You've been officially reinstated.

You'll get a medal too.

Your old man will be proud.

This system is as old as time.

There are no bad guys and good guys.

There are the strong and there are the weak.

You're a part of this system.

It was built long before you,

and you're not the one to take it down.

I don't want to be part of such...

a system.

Nobody does.

Excuse me, can we talk? I was waiting for you.

I want to show you something.

This is my pregnancy record.

It was a girl. 3.2 kg, 51 cm.

Born at 8:36pm.

After 10 minutes, her heart stopped.

But we gave her a name anyway. Sofia, we always liked it.

God didn't give us any more children.

- Do you believe in God? - No.

I do.

Why are you telling me this?

They say that the most important thing is said at the end.

We both know this is our last meeting. I think you should hear me out.

After several attempts to conceive, we decided to adopt.

There are so many unhappy children. We could be parents to one of them.

But it turns out it's not that easy to adopt a child.

You spend years gathering documents, but there's always something missing.

And then the orphanage staff suggested we post a request online.

There are parents who would happily be rid of their child.

They send them to an orphanage, sell them for organs or abandon them.

They recommended dealing with the parents directly.

So we posted an ad.

"We'd like to rescue a child from an orphanage."

We had an immediate reply.

From a man called Sergey.

He said his wife had died, leaving him with her child...

from a previous marriage. Father unknown.

He was moving abroad and couldn't take the girl.

I don't know why, but we instantly took him up on his offer.

It was only later that we started noticing strange behaviour.

Sonya became more and more reserved.

Then she was diagnosed with autism.

But we learned to live with it because we saw her as our child.

I know you want to pursue this case.

Our lawyer told us.

That's why I decided to tell you everything.

In person.

I can't promise anything.

No need.

Do you have children?

Yes.

Boy or girl?

A girl.

A girl.

I see.

Congratulations.

Shall we get a drink to celebrate?

Fucking psycho!
